The two, top Democratic candidates have really shifted roles in the final hours leading to Tuesday’s primary.

    Barack Obama is playing the safe, stay the course frontrunner giving his uplifting stump speech, shaking plenty of hands but taking no questions.

    Hillary Rodham Clinton is cast in the unusual role of unvarnished campaigner, spending more than 90 minutes taking more than 20 questions at one Saturday stop.

    It’s truly a reversal for the New York senator from the few months leading up to the Iowa caucuses when she was the one with the carefully-crafted remarks with few questions from voters.

   The campaign endured plenty of stories about her inaccessibility to the press.  So now Clinton is hosting impromptu but brief availabilities with the press horde traveling with her.

   The Clinton campaign is hoping that typically observant New Hampshire voters notice the contrast.
